Abstract
A three phase full wave rectifier assembly includes first and second sub-assemblies each of which includes three semi-conductor diodes. In addition, each sub-assembly includes an electrically conductive heat sink the three diodes of the first sub-assembly being secured to the first heat sink with their anodes electrically connected thereto, and the three diodes of the second sub-assembly being secured to the second heat sink with their cathodes electrically connected thereto. Each set of three diodes is secured to its respective heat sink by means of a common clip which engages the heat sink there being a resilient member acting between each clip and the respective three diodes to urge the diodes firmly into contact with the respective heat sink. Additionally, there are three phase connectors, each phase connector being electrically connected to a cathode of a diode of the first sub-assembly and an anode of a diode of the second sub-assembly.
